I am currently developing and calibrating a storm sewer model to account for reduced flow capacity based on CCTV Serer Video Inspection Reports.
I also have rainfall and flow monitoring data to calibrate to.
Results of the CCTV Sewer Video Inspection Reports indicate that pipe flow capacities may be reduced from 10% to 35% for select pipes within the system.
In order to calibrate to the observed flow monitoring data, should I be modeling pipes with a reduced diameter to reflect the decreased flow capacity, or should I be modeling pipes with an increased Manning's roughness coefficient to reflect the decreased flow capacity?
Any references to published material, or personal experience would be greatly appreciated.
